Autosteer - Tesla X 2015-2020 Owner's Manual

Autosteer

NOTE: Depending on market region, vehicle
configuration, options purchased, and software version,
your vehicle may not be equipped with Autosteer, or the
feature may not operate exactly as described.
NOTE: Autosteer is a BETA feature.
Autosteer builds upon Traffic-Aware Cruise Control (see
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control on page
keeping Model X in its driving lane when cruising at a set
speed. Autosteer also allows you to use the turn signals
to move Model X into an adjacent lane (see
Change on page 104). Autosteer detects lane markings
and the presence of vehicles and objects to assist you in
steering Model X.
CAUTION: Ensure all cameras and sensors are
clean. Dirty cameras and sensors, as well as
environmental conditions such as rain and faded
lane markings, affect performance.
WARNING: Autosteer is a hands-on feature. You
must keep your hands on the steering wheel at all
times.
WARNING: Autosteer is intended for use on
controlled-access highways with a fully attentive
driver. When using Autosteer, hold the steering
wheel and be mindful of road conditions and
surrounding traffic. Do not use Autosteer in
construction zones, or in areas where bicyclists or
pedestrians may be present. Never depend on
Autosteer to determine an appropriate driving
path. Always be prepared to take immediate
action. Failure to follow these instructions could
cause damage, serious injury or death.
Operating Autosteer
Before you can operate Autosteer, you must enable it by
touching Controls > Autopilot > Autosteer (Beta).
To indicate that Autosteer is available (but
not actively steering Model X), the
instrument panel displays a gray Autosteer
icon.
To initiate Autosteer, pull the Autopilot stalk toward you
twice in quick succession.
102
97), intelligently
Auto Lane
Autosteer briefly displays a message on the instrument
panel reminding you to pay attention to the road and
have your hands on the steering wheel.
The speed at which you can initiate Autosteer can vary
depending on various conditions and whether or not a
vehicle is detected ahead of you. When no vehicle is
detected ahead of you, you must be driving at least
30 km/h, unless certain vehicle and environmental
conditions are met, in which case, you may be able to
initiate it at lower speeds. When a vehicle is detected
ahead of you, you can initiate Autosteer at any speed,
even when stationary, provided Model X is at least 150
cm behind the detected vehicle.
NOTE: The maximum cruising speed is 150 km/h. It is
the driver's responsibility to cruise at a safe speed based
on road conditions and speed limits.
To indicate that Autosteer is now actively
assisting in steering Model X, the
instrument panel displays the Autosteer
icon in blue. When Autosteer is able to
detect lane markings, it also displays the
driving lane in blue.
CAUTION: If available in your market region,
Model X detects lights from an emergency vehicle
when using Autosteer at night on a high speed
road, the driving speed is automatically reduced
and the instrument panel displays a message
informing you of the slowdown. You will also hear
a chime and see a reminder to keep your hands on
the steering wheel. When the light detections pass
by or cease to appear, Autopilot resumes your
cruising speed. Alternatively, you may tap the
accelerator to resume your cruising speed.
WARNING: Never depend on Autopilot features to
determine the presence of emergency vehicles.
Model X may not detect lights from emergency
vehicles in all situations. Keep your eyes on your
driving path and always be prepared to take
immediate action.
